Lonely Planet review for Pushkinskaya pl
On Pushkinskaya pl, there's the huge Alexander Pushkin Statue, a monument to Russia's national poet, behind which is the gaudy Rossiya cinema and casino complex. Another item of note on the square is Russia's first McDonald's, which saw lines stretching around the square when it opened in 1990. To this day it has the dubious honour of being the biggest McDonald's branch in the world, seating 700 burger munchers at any one time.
